What are we doing to contribute to Global Warming?

Answer 1

1. Using too much energy from fossil fuels
2. Cutting down trees

Answer 2

we are doing absolutely nothing. global warming is just a process the earth is going through. i have explained in other questions why CO2 does not cause trapping of heat in the atmosphere. the fossil fuels that we dump into the air are nothing compared to the vast atmosphere. there is 0.03% CO2 in the air and we put out 3% of that. the reason why we can conclude that humans are not responsible for global warming is because of the fact that the oceans are getting warmer. Now Al Gore is wrong about this. Just because the surafces temperature goes up by 0.6 degrees does NOT mean the oceans will get warmer too. the temperature of the surface would have to be pretty warm to have influence on the oceans and make the oceans warmer. but if oceans are getting warmer, that can actually cause the earths surface's temperature to get warmer because 70% of the world is ocean water. If oceans are getting warmer, it would be reasonable to say the core of the earth, or the plates, are heating, thus someting natural.

Answer 3

Global warming is a natural cycle. Now we do contribute to to by adding carbon to the atmosphere. But we are not the sole cause.

Answer 4

A plan was formed in 2000, GOV. officials took it to D.C. for feasibility by gov. computers. plans results =if life is to exists this plan has to be put in operation within a certain amount of time, otherwise this planet EARTH will be lifeless by year 2050.== Nothing is in progress has started yet that would improve life as far as global warming is concerned.

Answer 5

Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text is limited to effects of people in the country,industrial effects on the environment and the internal combustion engine as well as the over all effects of cities ,is another story

climate change is caused principally by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man
the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

MANS EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT


DEFORESTATION

in the past
the Building of the Spanish Armada deforrested Spain
the Phoenician trading fleet turned Lebanon in a dessert
Ganges Khan put everything to the sword and torch, then filled the wells with sand,
the sun finished of the job and whole countries turned to wastelands.
He would have been envious of the effects of modern day farming.Slash and burn destroys the protective vegetation (which helps to form the soil ),
leaving it open to the Sun ,and then ,wind and, water erosion.
The Plough turns the soil ,killing micro-biotic life (essential to soil building) and accelerates the drying out .
Pressures of the :vehicles, cattle and rain impact brings the salt to the surface.

Mono cultures ,aided by chemicals Exhaust and pollutes the soil .
Adding to this the effects of overgrazing has resulted in large scale desertification.

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's
clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

In Mexico is a famous jungle that the Media has been trying to save for years
the Naturists ,and the government ,keep watch .laws are made for protection the wild and to forbid logging.
TV put out a series of documentaries
there are campaigns in the News papers
and all of this has not made the slightest difference

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

ON THE GROUND
go to the countries on the equator ,check what has happened in history
and listen to what is going on in the many disaster areas on this planet today,(and there are more each year )

: i have seen lands that have been turned from jungle into desserts by people in a matter of a couple of years ,because of the slash and burn method used by settlers and expanding agriculture,and i have seen rivers dry up because of deforrestation in many places in Africa and Mexico ,

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,


each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Answer 6

Well, to begin with, we're expelling way too much gases like CO2 and methane to the atmosphere, and using too much energy, cutting too many trees, not taking care of our water...

Answer 7

About as much as we contribute to earthquakes and volcanoes,NOTHING.

Answer 8

You sound like your saying we should be doing more.

Answer 9

passing gas from eating at MCD's and places like that
